Incredible house, view and host!

I have so many good things to say about our stay here for Christmas 2014.

First and foremost, Randall was friendly and welcoming and more than helpful. We had a small problem with the hot tub (our fault) on Christmas Day of all days, and he came over right away to fix it for us. I figure that's enough said, right? I was floored and grateful.

Second, the location is amazing. The house hangs on the side of the hill that hugs the lake. The view is beautiful. I wish I had better words, in fact. In the morning, hundreds of birds float down the middle of the lake, which is otherwise a sheet of glass. This is the view you wake up to in the master bedroom. The hot tub is on a porch that overlooks it all, and I can't image a season when that is not just perfect.

Third, the house is set up and stocked for any activity - canoes (we took one out in the dead of winter), kayaks, BBQ, a picnic table by the lake, deck chairs, a fire pit, even tiki lights!

I almost want to keep this place a secret so it's available for me to rent again and again. But Randall was just too good to us not to gush about it to others! Please visit, it's worth it in every way.

Beautiful Cayuga Lakehouse

5 of 5

We recently stayed at the lakehouse, off season, in early February. The place was perfect for our group of four. Our favorite part was the outdoor hot tub; it was beautiful sitting outside in the middle of winter watching the snow come down & the steam rise up! We had grand plans of grilling out, but because of the snow, we ended up using the stove top "grill" inside instead (worked great!). The only tricky part in our stay was the driveway. It is pretty steep and we were a bit skeptical if we would be able to make it up and down with all the snow. However, they did a great job of both plowing and salting the driveway and we did not have any issues. We would definitely stay here again, no complaints. Thank you Randall!

Beautiful House

My friends and I recently stayed here for New Years Eve for 2 days. The house was very clean upon arrival, Randall even left a bottle of wine for us :) Directions for expectations for the house were clearly written out. We visited Americana Winery, which was not more than a 15 minute drive up the lake. We used the hot tub, which was a wonderful feature. Randall came and inspected the house right after we left. We will definitely think about coming back in the future!

Great Location!

My friend planed a trip up to the figure lakes for her 26th birthday and we stayed here it was great.

The house was spacious enough for the 6 of us plus her dog. The only issue if you have a pet might be the spiral staircase. The 1st night she carried the dog up but the second night her boyfriend make it learn to take the steps, I was glad I got up before that ordeal.

The hot tub was an awesome feature that we took advantage of both nights. It was easy to set up and clean up, not too far from the house which is great since it got down to the low 40s the nights we were there. We were looking forward to using the kayaks as well but the day we planned to use them it was just too cold for us maybe if the sun was out it would have been more bearable but we got kind of an overcast weekend.

Due to the crowded restaurant scene in Ithaca Friday night and hearing how much was going on that weekend to draw the extra crowd we decided to cook on Saturday night. We were pre-warned about an issue with the stove making it out of commission originally not planning to cook it wasn't a big deal to us but once we decided to cook we decided to grill. Grill was great. There were enough plates and utensils for us of us. The dishwasher worked great as well.

We loved the location of this place. It was on the river, a short drive Ithaca, easy access to lot of vineyards and hiking trails. The trail marked across the street to access a large trail was easy to follow and although it was listed under the places to take your dog myself and another guest use it as a running tail. If you go to the left for about 20 minutes, I'm kind of a slow runner, you'll hit the paved running paths. If you go to the right there a few baracades the trail crumbles a little but you can get by.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review! I just wanted to let future renters know that the oven was promptly repaired and is currently in excellent working order.

Awesome!

Such a great experience. Having been to Ithaca before, it is great to find a place to rent that is so close to all of the waterfalls and is such a short drive from downtown. The amenities at the house (hot tub, fire pit, grille, canoes) kept us entertained the entire weekend. We will definitely be returning to stay at the house.
